"From Sifu" is only a short more than 400 words, but between the lines it is not difficult to see that she misses her brother very much, living a lonely life alone in the deep palace, has been depressed, when she saw the words sent by her brother, her emotions finally vented out: "Feeling sad and sad, suffering from tears from zero", "Long sad and hugging Qixi, looking up to the sky and crying blood", a sentence full of longing and helplessness of the poems makes people feel emotional, and the breath of grief can also make people feel that multiple feelings are very real.

Her brother Zuo Si was determined to write the Sandu Fu (三都即邺, Chengdu, Jianye), but felt that he lacked information, so he asked the imperial court to offer him to be a secretary in charge of books and writings, and he was approved.

After the advent of "Sandu Fu", it was not taken seriously at first, but after the recommendation of Huangfu Mi, Wei Quan, Zhang Hua and others, it caused a sensation and left an allusion to "Luoyang paper is expensive".

Zuo Fen is also good at literary creation, she is not beautiful, but Sima Yan still treats her with courtesy for her literary talent and morality, often asks her to write articles, and rewards her.

…… ……

In the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were also outstanding figures in the field of science and technology.

Geographer Pei Xiu, as the founder of the Jin Dynasty, was trusted and reused by Sima Yan, and served as the secretary during Sima Yan's reign, creating the "Yugong Geographical Map", and put forward the "Six Bodies of Cartography" in the preface, that is, the six basic points of drawing the map: scale, orientation, the actual distance of the traffic route, the undulating terrain, the shape of the features, the inclination and urgency, etc.

This is an epoch-making innovation in cartography, which already includes the basic elements of modern cartography in addition to latitude and longitude and contour lines.

The medical scientist Huang Fu Mi was recruited by Sima Yan many times, but he always said that he was sick and politely declined, and Sima Yan respected his wishes.

Once Huangfu Mi borrowed books from Sima Yan, and Sima Yan simply gave him a cart of books.

Huangfu Mi is not a man for life.

He is the author of "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Sutra". This book is not only a great work in the history of medicine in our country, but also spread abroad, influencing Korea and Japan.

In addition, during the reign of Sima Yan, the "Book of Ji Tombs" was unearthed (the specific time is said to be the fifth year of Xianning, the first year of Taikang, the second year of Taikang, etc.), including the famous "Bamboo Book Chronicle". Sima Yan collected it in the secret mansion, and ordered people to sort it out and subordinate, including the then Zhongshu supervisor Xun Xun (xù), Zhongshu Ling Heqiao, and the author Lang Shuhui.

…… ……

Sima Yan reigned for more than 20 years. He has made outstanding contributions to the development of economy and culture. However, due to the influence of the times, he basically followed the feudal system since the Han Dynasty in the political system, which seriously weakened the consolidation of centralized power.

In addition, in his later years, he lived a luxurious and corrupt life, openly sold officials, and had nearly 10,000 concubines in the palace.

In the early stage, he was able to practice frugality, humbly accept advice, employ people on the basis of merit, and carried out a series of reforms, while in the later stage, he was keen on comfort and pleasure, so that he was extravagant, and the monarch and the minister were rich. The front is bright and the back is the most fair evaluation of Emperor Wu of Jin.

…… ……

After Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty, on the one hand, he continued to implement the national policy of peace, and on the other hand, he recuperated and carried out the benevolent and righteous "Taishi Law" to care for the people and expand production. He issued an edict to release slaves and maids throughout the country, and organized them to replace the soldiers, which strengthened the country.

Emperor Wu of Jin implemented the land occupation system after unification, allowing the people to occupy 100 acres of land, there was no land annexation at that time, the country was peaceful, there was a scene of Taikang prosperous, and the people had the folk proverb of "infinite people in the world".

He played a role in historical progress on the whole, and was an outstanding statesman.

In his later years, he had the shortcomings of being indulgent and arrogant, and he liked to have fun, but from this, we can also see that his essence is still frugal. He cared about his uncle's family, and heard that Wang Kai and Shi Chong were competing for wealth, and wanted to help Wang Kai, and the coral sent was not as good as Shi Chong's family, which showed that he was not extravagant and rich.

When he went out to participate in the banquet, he went to Wang Ji's house, saw the gorgeous food and utensils, and felt uncomfortable, so he left without waiting for the banquet to end.

He heard that the Heqiao family had good plums, and asked him to send some, Heqiao was a well-known stinger, and was called a rich addict by Du, but he only sent dozens of plums to Emperor Wu of Jin.

Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty was able to restrain the powerful and prevent them from influencing the country in a complex environment, mainly to implement benevolence and righteousness to the people, formulate a policy of land occupation to weaken the strong and powerful, promote democracy, and release slaves and maids to prevent the excessive expansion of the powerful forces, these are all progressive policies, and some policies are also manifested as negative effects, such as allowing the daughters of officials above 2,000 stone in the state and county to enter the palace for selection, which is also to limit the marriage between the noble families and strengthen the dignity of the royal status.

During the first period of Tai (265-274), Emperor Wu of Jin selected women from good families to fill the harem, issued an edict in advance to prohibit the people from marrying, sent eunuchs to ride in the messenger's car, gave the retinue who drove the chariot and horse, and rushed to various states and counties, and summoned candidates for Empress Yang Yan to choose.

Yang Yan was jealous, so she only chose those women with fair faces and slender figures, and those dignified and beautiful girls were not left.

At that time, Bian Fan's daughter was very beautiful, and Emperor Wu of Jin covered his face with a fan and said to Yang Yan: "Bian's daughter is very good. ”

Yang Yan said: "The three generations of Bian Fan are all relatives of the Queen Mother, and his daughter cannot be aggrieved to be in a humble position. ”

Emperor Wu of Jin gave up.

…… ……

There are many concubines in Sima Yan's harem, with nearly 10,000 fans, so which concubine to be lucky with every night has become a headache for him.

So he came up with a solution, which was to sit in a sheep cart and let the sheep walk freely in the palace, and he would spoil the concubines wherever the sheep cart stopped.

A palace man put a bamboo branch on the door and sprinkled salt water on the ground, and the sheep stopped eating because he liked the taste of salt water, so the sheep cart stopped at the gate of her palace.

This story comes from the thirty-first volume of the Jin Dynasty, because of this story, later generations hope to get the attention or favor of others, it is called "sheep cart hope".

…… ……

Most of the women from famous families are reluctant to be selected to enter the palace, and they all wear tattered clothes during the selection, pretending to be tired, weak, and sick to avoid the draft girls.

Hu Guifei Mingfang, who was first selected, was crying loudly, and the people around her stopped her and said, "Your Majesty heard the voice." ”

Hu Fang said: "If you are not afraid of death, how can you be afraid of Your Majesty!" ”

Most of the women of famous families wear ragged clothes and ruin their faces to escape the draft.

…… ……

When Empress Yang Yan was sick, she knew that Emperor Wu of Jin favored Madame Hu, and she was afraid that she would be made the queen in the future, and she was worried that the position of the crown prince Sima Zhen would be unstable.

When he was dying, he rested his head on the knee of Emperor Wu of Jin and said: "Yang Zhi, the daughter of Uncle Yang Jun, has both talent and beauty, and I hope Your Majesty will choose her to prepare for the Sixth Palace." ”

And wept sadly, Emperor Wu of Jin agreed to her with tears.

On the sixth day of the seventh month of the tenth year of Taishi (August 25, 274), Yang Yan died in the Mingguang Hall at the knee of Emperor Wu of Jin at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

…… ……

Which empress did you hear died at the emperor's lap? Isn't it rare in ancient times?
